Description:
Original Antique vintage 1926 press photograph showing William Howard Taft, then Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, seated with Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden during ceremonies connected with the unveiling of the John Ericsson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The original paper press caption remains attached/preserved with the photograph and identifies the scene as:
“Crown Prince of Sweden attends unveiling of John Ericsson Monument.”
The caption further identifies Taft and Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and notes that the monument honored Swedish-born inventor John Ericsson, famous for designing the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor.
This event dates to 1926; contemporary historical material confirms that the Ericsson memorial dedication was attended by the Swedish Crown Prince.
